This patch fixes a problem when you use 32 nodes in the cluster
match:
% iptables -I PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth0 -m cluster \
--cluster-total-nodes 32 --cluster-local-node 32 \
--cluster-hash-seed 0xdeadbeef -j MARK --set-mark 0xffff
iptables: Invalid argument. Run `dmesg' for more information.
% dmesg | tail -1
xt_cluster: this node mask cannot be higher than the total number of nodes
The problem is related to this checking:
if (info->node_mask >= (1 << info->total_nodes)) {
printk(KERN_ERR "xt_cluster: this node mask cannot be "
"higher than the total number of nodes\n");
return false;
}
(1 << 32) is 1. Thus, the checking fails.
BTW, I said this before but I insist: I have only tested the cluster
match with 2 nodes getting ~45% extra performance in an active-active setup.
The maximum limit of 32 nodes is still completely arbitrary. I'd really
appreciate if people that have more nodes in their setups let me know.

Due to a semantic changes in flush_workqueue() the current approach of
synchronizing the sysfs handling for connections doesn't work anymore. The
whole approach is actually fully broken and based on assumptions that are
no longer valid.
With the introduction of Simple Pairing support, the creation of low-level
ACL links got changed. This change invalidates the reason why in the past
two independent work queues have been used for adding/removing sysfs
devices. The adding of the actual sysfs device is now postponed until the
host controller successfully assigns an unique handle to that link. So
the real synchronization happens inside the controller and not the host.
The only left-over problem is that some internals of the sysfs device
handling are not initialized ahead of time. This leaves potential access
to invalid data and can cause various NULL pointer dereferences. To fix
this a new function makes sure that all sysfs details are initialized
when an connection attempt is made. The actual sysfs device is only
registered when the connection has been successfully established. To
avoid a race condition with the registration, the check if a device is
registered has been moved into the removal work.
As an extra protection two flush_work() calls are left in place to
make sure a previous add/del work has been completed first.

This introduces a CDC Ethernet Emulation Model (EEM) host side
driver to support USB EEM devices.
EEM is different from the Ethernet Control Model (ECM) currently
supported by the "CDC Ethernet" driver. One key difference is
that it doesn't require of USB interface alternate settings to
manage interface state; some maldesigned hardware can't handle
that part of USB. It also avoids a separate USB interface for
control and status updates.

The x_tables are organized with a table structure and a per-cpu copies
of the counters and rules. On older kernels there was a reader/writer
lock per table which was a performance bottleneck. In 2.6.30-rc, this
was converted to use RCU and the counters/rules which solved the performance
problems for do_table but made replacing rules much slower because of
the necessary RCU grace period.
This version uses a per-cpu set of spinlocks and counters to allow to
table processing to proceed without the cache thrashing of a global
reader lock and keeps the same performance for table updates.

The Bluetooth stack uses a reference counting for all established ACL
links and if no user (L2CAP connection) is present, the link will be
terminated to save power. The problem part is the dedicated pairing
when using Legacy Pairing (Bluetooth 2.0 and before). At that point
no user is present and pairing attempts will be disconnected within
10 seconds or less. In previous kernel version this was not a problem
since the disconnect timeout wasn't triggered on incoming connections
for the first time. However this caused issues with broken host stacks
that kept the connections around after dedicated pairing. When the
support for Simple Pairing got added, the link establishment procedure
needed to be changed and now causes issues when using Legacy Pairing
When using Simple Pairing it is possible to do a proper reference
counting of ACL link users. With Legacy Pairing this is not possible
since the specification is unclear in some areas and too many broken
Bluetooth devices have already been deployed. So instead of trying to
deal with all the broken devices, a special pairing timeout will be
introduced that increases the timeout to 60 seconds when pairing is
triggered.
If a broken devices now puts the stack into an unforeseen state, the
worst that happens is the disconnect timeout triggers after 120 seconds
instead of 4 seconds. This allows successful pairings with legacy and
broken devices now.

In 2.6.25 we added UDP mem accounting.
This unfortunatly added a penalty when a frame is transmitted, since
we have at TX completion time to call sock_wfree() to perform necessary
memory accounting. This calls sock_def_write_space() and utimately
scheduler if any thread is waiting on the socket.
Thread(s) waiting for an incoming frame was scheduled, then had to sleep
again as event was meaningless.
(All threads waiting on a socket are using same sk_sleep anchor)
This adds lot of extra wakeups and increases latencies, as noted
by Christoph Lameter, and slows down softirq handler.
Reference : http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=124060437012283&w=2
Fortunatly, Davide Libenzi recently added concept of keyed wakeups
into kernel, and particularly for sockets (see commit
37e5540b3c
epoll keyed wakeups: make sockets use keyed wakeups)
Davide goal was to optimize epoll, but this new wakeup infrastructure
can help non epoll users as well, if they care to setup an appropriate
handler.
This patch introduces new DEFINE_WAIT_FUNC() helper and uses it
in wait_for_packet(), so that only relevant event can wakeup a thread
blocked in this function.
Trace of function calls from bnx2 TX completion bnx2_poll_work() is :
__kfree_skb()
skb_release_head_state()
sock_wfree()
sock_def_write_space()
__wake_up_sync_key()

There are many [__]blk_end_request() call sites which call it with
full request length and expect full completion. Many of them ensure
that the request actually completes by doing BUG_ON() the return
value, which is awkward and error-prone.
This patch adds [__]blk_end_request_all() which takes @rq and @error
and fully completes the request. BUG_ON() is added to to ensure that
this actually happens.
Most conversions are simple but there are a few noteworthy ones.
* cdrom/viocd: viocd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to
__blk_end_request_all().
* s390/block/dasd: dasd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to

Request completion has gone through several changes and became a bit
messy over the time. Clean it up.
1. end_that_request_data() is a thin wrapper around
end_that_request_data_first() which checks whether bio is NULL
before doing anything and handles bidi completion.
blk_update_request() is a thin wrapper around
end_that_request_data() which clears nr_sectors on the last
iteration but doesn't use the bidi completion.
Clean it up by moving the initial bio NULL check and nr_sectors
clearing on the last iteration into end_that_request_data() and
renaming it to blk_update_request(), which makes blk_end_io() the
only user of end_that_request_data(). Collapse
end_that_request_data() into blk_end_io().
2. There are four visible completion variants - blk_end_request(),
__blk_end_request(), blk_end_bidi_request() and end_request().
blk_end_request() and blk_end_bidi_request() uses blk_end_request()
as the backend but __blk_end_request() and end_request() use
separate implementation in __blk_end_request() due to different
locking rules.
blk_end_bidi_request() is identical to blk_end_io(). Collapse
blk_end_io() into blk_end_bidi_request(), separate out request
update into internal helper blk_update_bidi_request() and add
__blk_end_bidi_request(). Redefine [__]blk_end_request() as thin
inline wrappers around [__]blk_end_bidi_request().
3. As the whole request issue/completion usages are about to be
modified and audited, it's a good chance to convert completion
functions return bool which better indicates the intended meaning
of return values.
4. The function name end_that_request_last() is from the days when it
was a public interface and slighly confusing. Give it a proper
internal name - blk_finish_request().
5. Add description explaning that blk_end_bidi_request() can be safely
used for uni requests as suggested by Boaz Harrosh.
The only visible behavior change is from #1. nr_sectors counts are
cleared after the final iteration no matter which function is used to
complete the request. I couldn't find any place where the code
assumes those nr_sectors counters contain the values for the last
segment and this change is good as it makes the API much more
consistent as the end result is now same whether a request is
completed using [__]blk_end_request() alone or in combination with
blk_update_request().
API further cleaned up per Christoph's suggestion.

Impact: unify request data buffer handling
rq->data is used mostly to pass kernel buffer through request queue
without using bio. There are only a couple of places which still do
this in kernel and converting to bio isn't difficult.
This patch converts ide-cd and atapi to use bio instead of rq->data
for request sense and internal pc commands. With previous change to
unify sense request handling, this is relatively easily achieved by
adding blk_rq_map_kern() during sense_rq prep and PC issue.
If blk_rq_map_kern() fails for sense, the error is deferred till sense
issue and aborts the failed command which triggered the sense. Note
that this is a slim possibility as sense prep is done on each command
issue, so for the above condition to actually trigger, all preps since
the last sense issue till the issue of the request which would require
a sense should fail.
* do_request functions might sleep now. This should be okay as ide
request_fn - do_ide_request() - is invoked only from make_request
and plug work. Make sure this is the case by adding might_sleep()
to do_ide_request().
* Functions which access the read sense data before the sense request
is complete now should access bio_data(sense_rq->bio) as the sense
buffer might have been copied during blk_rq_map_kern().
* ide-tape updated to map sg.
* cdrom_do_block_pc() now doesn't have to deal with REQ_TYPE_ATA_PC
special case. Simplified.
* tp_ops->output/input_data path dropped from ide_pc_intr().

This patch is preparation for replacing all uses of ".head.text" or
".text.head" in the kernel with macros, so that the section name can
later be changed without having to touch a lot of the kernel.
Since some linker scripts do more complex things than referencing
HEAD_TEXT, we add a HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro that just contains the
actual name.
I've defined HEAD_TEXT_SECTION in a new header,
include/linux/section-names.h, so that this section name only needs to
appear in one place. I anticipate creating similar macro structures
for a number of other section names.
The long-term goal here is to be able to change the kernel's magic
section names to those that are compatible with -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections. This requires renaming all magic sections with names
of the form ".text.foo".

Impact: fix bio_kmalloc() and its destruction path
bio_kmalloc() was broken in two ways.
* bvec_alloc_bs() first allocates bvec using kmalloc() and then
ignores it and allocates again like non-kmalloc bvecs.
* bio_kmalloc_destructor() didn't check for and free bio integrity
data.
This patch fixes the above problems. kmalloc patch is separated out
from bio_alloc_bioset() and allocates the requested number of bvecs as
inline bvecs.
* bio_alloc_bioset() no longer takes NULL @bs. None other than
bio_kmalloc() used it and outside users can't know how it was
allocated anyway.
* Define and use BIO_POOL_NONE so that pool index check in
bvec_free_bs() triggers if inline or kmalloc allocated bvec gets
there.
* Relocate destructors on top of each allocation function so that how
they're used is more clear.
Jens Axboe suggested allocating bvecs inline.

There is currently only one way for userspace to say "wait for my storage
device to get ready for the modules I just loaded": to load the
scsi_wait_scan module. Expectations of userspace are that once this
module is loaded, all the (storage) devices for which the drivers
were loaded before the module load are present.
Now, there are some issues with the implementation, and the async
stuff got caught in the middle of this: The existing code only
waits for the scsy async probing to finish, but it did not take
into account at all that probing might not have begun yet.
(Russell ran into this problem on his computer and the fix works for him)
This patch fixes this more thoroughly than the previous "fix", which
had some bad side effects (namely, for kernel code that wanted to wait for
the scsi scan it would also do an async sync, which would deadlock if you did
it from async context already.. there's a report about that on lkml):
The patch makes the module first wait for all device driver probes, and then it
will wait for the scsi parallel scan to finish.

In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU()
does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU(). This means that
architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base
register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between
where the base register points and the per-CPU variable.
On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but
the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section. The linker throws
up the following errors:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task':
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o
To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute
as does DEFINE_PER_CPU(). However, this is made slightly more complex by
virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to
be matched by variants on DECLARE.

Commit 900af0d973 (PM: Change suspend
code ordering) changed the ordering of suspend code in such a way
that the platform .prepare() callback is now executed after the
device drivers' late suspend callbacks have run. Unfortunately, this
turns out to break ARM platforms that need to talk via I2C to power
control devices during the .prepare() callback.
For this reason introduce two new platform suspend callbacks,
.prepare_late() and .wake(), that will be called just prior to
disabling non-boot CPUs and right after bringing them back on line,
respectively, and use them instead of .prepare() and .finish() for
ACPI suspend. Make the PM core execute the .prepare() and .finish()
platform suspend callbacks where they were executed previously (that
is, right after calling the regular suspend methods provided by
device drivers and right before executing their regular resume
methods, respectively).
It is not necessary to make analogous changes to the hibernation
code and data structures at the moment, because they are only used
by ACPI platforms.

Wireless USB endpoint state has a sequence number and a current
window and not just a single toggle bit. So allow HCDs to provide a
endpoint_reset method and call this or clear the software toggles as
required (after a clear halt, set configuration etc.).
usb_settoggle() and friends are then HCD internal and are moved into
core/hcd.h and all device drivers call usb_reset_endpoint() instead.
If the device endpoint state has been reset (with a clear halt) but
the host endpoint state has not then subsequent data transfers will
not complete. The device will only work again after it is reset or
disconnected.

pr_debug() used to produce zero code unless DEBUG was #defined. This is
now no longer the case in practice[1].
There are places where it's useful to have debugging printks, but we don't
want them to generate any code in production kernels.
So add a new macro, pr_devel(), for _devel_opment, to provide the old
semantics, ie. if the programmer doesn't explicitly enable debugging, no
code is produced.

V3 of the early platform driver implementation.
Platform drivers are great for embedded platforms because we can separate
driver configuration from the actual driver. So base addresses,
interrupts and other configuration can be kept with the processor or board
code, and the platform driver can be reused by many different platforms.
For early devices we have nothing today. For instance, to configure early
timers and early serial ports we cannot use platform devices. This
because the setup order during boot. Timers are needed before the
platform driver core code is available. The same goes for early printk
support. Early in this case means before initcalls.
These early drivers today have their configuration either hard coded or
they receive it using some special configuration method. This is working
quite well, but if we want to support both regular kernel modules and
early devices then we need to have two ways of configuring the same
driver. A single way would be better.
The early platform driver patch is basically a set of functions that allow
drivers to register themselves and architecture code to locate them and
probe. Registration happens through early_param(). The time for the
probe is decided by the architecture code.
See Documentation/driver-model/platform.txt for more details.
